Instructions

Place onions and sliced onions in a large skillet. Place the skillet over medium heat and allow butter to melt and onions begin to sizzle. Allow the onions to sweat and soften slightly. Sprinkle in salt, pepper, and sugar. Toss to combine.
Reduce heat to low and allow onions to soften, brown, and caramelize slowly – stirring just occasionally. Onions may take 30 to 40 minutes to brown and caramelize. When the onions begin to brown add the chopped garlic. Stir and allow the garlic to soften with the onions. If you notice that the onions are beginning to burn, reduce the heat. This is a low and slow process.
Remove pan from the heat and gently stir in the rinsed beans. Stir in the thyme. Stir in most of the parsley and parmesan.
Transfer warm onion and bean dip to a serving dish and top with remaining parsley and parmesan. Serve with fresh sliced vegetables and baguette toasts. Enjoy warm.
